how to return to edge workspace?

Question

new to edge workspace. previously whenever i shut down or restart the PC, upon restarting and clicking edge, the tabs that were open will be restored. however not edge workspace.

1. I tried https://winaero.com/how-to-enable-workspaces-in-microsoft-edge/ doesn't work as well. speaking of which, i followed and did "Add --enable-features=msWorkspaces after the msedge.exe portion in the Target box." but it doesn't do anything. in fact any restart i lose all my opened tabs(I have set open tabs from previous session). deleting the line i added doesn't help.
2. I see it in favourites, but clicking on it does nothing
3. its greyed out

Hi @Daniel T ~,

First of all, the --enable-features=msWorkspaces flag seems to be an old-fashioned way to enable Workspaces and it is not working now. To enable this feature properly, you can either:

1. enable the EdgeWorkspacesEnabled policy
2. or enable the edge://flags#edge-workspaces flag.

After you successfully enable this feature in either of these 2 ways, you should be able to use Workspaces normally. For more information of Workspaces, please read this doc.
